Abstract

This article explores the significance of training and development in improving worker performance, particularly in the realm of Information Systems (IS) security. Recognizing that employees are crucial assets to any organization, the study focuses on the effectiveness of IS security training in fostering compliance and reducing security breaches. It employs two theoretical frameworks—the Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM) and Universal Constructive Instructional Theory (UCIT)—to design a comprehensive training program aimed at enhancing cognitive processing and retention of security policies among employees. The research adopts an action research methodology, characterized by a cyclical process of intervention and evaluation. This approach allows for the continuous refinement of the training program based on empirical evidence. The study is structured into four phases: identifying instructional tasks, diagnosing learner states, delivering instructional content, and evaluating training outcomes.
